Union
Case No. 0-AR-1246
(30 FLRA No. 96)
ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION
I. Statement of the Case
This matter is before the Authority on a request filed by
the Activity seeking reconsideration of the Authority's Order of
December 28, 1987, 30 FLRA No. 96. We deny the request.
In 30 FLRA No. 96, the Union's request for reconsideration
maintained that the Authority's decision in 29 FLRA 232 (1987)
was inconsistent with established law and that the Arbitrator's
determination concerning the status of the grievant was supported
by the record. We granted the Union's request for reconsideration
and reversed the previous decision, 29 FLRA 232. In addition, we
specifically held that "(t)he Activity has not shown that the
Arbitrator's award is deficient on any of the grounds set forth
in section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor - Management
Relations Statute (the Statute). Therefore, the Activity's
exceptions are denied." 30 FLRA No. 96, slip op. at 2
(1987).
II. The Activity's Request
The Activity contends that all of its exceptions to the
Arbitrator's award were not considered by the Authority.
III. Discussion
The Activity's request provides no basis on which to grant
reconsideration. As previously noted, we denied all of the
Activity's exceptions because the Activity had not shown that the
Arbitrator's award was deficient on any of the grounds set forth
in section 7122(a) of the Statute. Consequently, the Activity's
arguments constitute nothing more than disagreement with the
merits of the Authority's decision and an attempt to relitigate
the matter.
IV. Order
The request for reconsideration is denied.
Issued, Washington, D.C.,February, 10, 1988.
